Public service workers in New York all have an official nickname. The cops are "New York's Finest", firefighters are "Bravest", prison guards are "Boldest", and binmen get some love too: they are the "Strongest". They even have their own street, the Avenue of the Strongest in downtown Manhattan.

That sort of civic pride gesture would be sniffed at back in England, but I think it's great. The city binmen are pretty well respected too.
